  RE: May  Telephone Gathering  

  Our May gathering will happen on May 23rd, 1 week sooner than the normal last Sunday of the month. recall, the theme ---will be a time to present some of our personal writings for critique. Anyone can present, all can give constructive criticism. You can read your own work or have someone else read it for you. Also, it has been suggested that an author who is planning to present, could send the work out prior to the evenings event..A good idea, though not a requirement. And if you are going to send it out prior to the meeting, you could send it to STYLIST with the note that  it is a piece for the meeting. (We have seen several pieces of novels or entire short stories appear for public suggestion and people have enjoyed these. It will be great if the authors come on the call and we get to hear their voice reading their work.) And one thought or caution - the material intended for this meeting, seeing how you and we will not know who will attend, the material to be read must be acceptable for a general audience. 

  I personally will not be attending. Shelley Alongi will be the moderator. You all have a great session! Remember, keep the flow manageable, keep your comments brief and give all on line a chance to talk. 

  Next month, June, we will have another special guest. She also is a Division member, Nancy Scott. Nancy is a former president of the Division, a person who has been writing for years, has been published, has won writing contests . She will be presenting a one hour (possibly longer) workshop on Goal Setting. And you all know that to get to a goal,  you have to set one. And for some of us, setting and reaching a goal is not an easy thing. Nancy has a great program on the anatomy and making the achievement of reaching a goal, am obtainable goal. (Woo, that got to be a little tangled, but what Nancy's has is better than that. During the first part of June, a bio of Nancy will be sent to STYLIST, you will see her credentials how it is that she can speak to the topic of Goal Setting.) I am looking forward to June's gathering.

  And as for July, I promise we will have a guest speaker on the topic of technical writing.

   The phone number to call in on is- 218-339-4300 

  The code is: 568839# (last character is a number sign)

  Respectfully yours,
